I have a single 4D case size Lifeline AGM battery. 215ah rated. 7 seasons so far. Hoping for a couple more no problems. I also have the Magnum 2000W pure sine wave inverter/charger. AGM charge rates are different from wet cell batterys. The Magnum charger is programmable to suit wet cell, AGM or gel cell batteries.
